Thrishanku (2023) - full transcript

For those who are in love,
those who want to fall in love,

and those who carry the pain
of a broken heart...

and for all those
who have felt the warmth of love,

a warm welcome
to another episode of Love Birds.

Without wasting much time,
let's move on to the first letter.

Here's Sethu pouring his heart out
to Megha in Mavelikkara.

"Oh, my curly-haired princess..."

That's how the letter begins!

How romantic!

"Every time I see you
at Brother Laser's Lovebirds shop,

I sincerely wish
that those love birds mating for life...



were you and me!

Opening that cage as I soar high
into the vast blue sky of love,

I look back to see..."

- Hello.
- Hello...

Megha...

are you watching the program?

Yes, I am.

Hey, what kind
of rubbish have you written?!

I have written much more.

I'll tell you in person
if you give me a chance.

Just keep writing to the TV channel.
That's enough for now.

As you wish! No problem.

As per Sethu's request...

Hey! The song is about to start.



- You listen to that.
- Hello! Hey!

Long, long ago

I felt a sweet bite

Of cotton candy on my tongue

You throw glances at me

And melt into my heart

Hey, take a look

Take a glance

And listen to my mellow humming

Don't run away

Let me come along

But... it didn't turn out
as I had imagined.

We can only do so much
in a cinema theater,

and there are some creeps around.

And isn't this your first time?

Isn't this your first time?!

Yes, it's my first time.

I swear on you.

The first time is usually like this!

You might make some mistakes, as well.

It's not like what you see in the movies.

- Really?
- Yes.

Then, it's okay.

Yes, it's okay.

Listen...

Still, I don't feel satisfied.

Forget everything.

Can I have one more chance?

Please...

I'll give you that chance over the phone
when I call you tonight. Okay?

It won't be enough over the phone.

Next week,

an "offbeat" movie will be released.

Shall we go for it?

Duh!

Don't sweet-talk me

Don't beg of me

Don't tail me

With your sweet lies

Oh, my birdie

Don't nip at me from within

I swear to you

You are the love of my life

Don't be so clever

Don't try to steal my love

With your mesmerizing smile

Oh, my sweet love

There is no dawn without you

I am incomplete without you

- Hello, Sethu...
- Tell me.

I am going to the hostel tomorrow,

and I want to meet you in person.

Where should I come? To the bus stop?

No, my dad will be with me.

Really?

The day after tomorrow
is the Onam celebration in college.

Then I'll come there.

I want to tell you something in person.

Brother...

Sumi is nagging me.

Let me see what it is.

Alright, deal!

See you in college.

You should call home immediately
after reaching the hostel.

I am going to the estate.

The network is really poor there.

Get in.

Tickets...

Tickets...

Have you taken the ticket?

Nisha, wait for me!

First, you go and meet
that guy personally.

Then tell him you're not interested.

I've tried telling him many times.

He just wants to make it happen somehow.

He's pulling strings
through that annoying mom of his.

Then tell him about your love affair.

Great! Then he'll go
and rat on her to her dad.

If one goes, another will substitute!

If one alliance breaks,
another will come up!

Her dad's attitude should change first.

His go-to phrase for everything is
"I know what's best for you, Megha."

It's the "Single Parent Syndrome."

If things continue like this,
I think eloping would be the only option.

You... stop giving Telugu film-like ideas.

I will...

Even though he had voluntary retirement,
her father was a Police Superintendent.

That's not a position given
to any random person.

Do you understand?

Then what am I supposed to do?

Otherwise, you should do it
before he finds out.

It's risky.

- What?
- What?

Do you mean "this"?

You're cheap!

What I meant is that you and Sethu

should register your marriage
as soon as possible.

Oh, that...

So, what's Sethu's stand?

His career is not stable at all.

He gave the bank's test
and is waiting for the results.

No matter the situation,
he's there for you, right?

Right?

Yes.

This old hag has lost it!

Like, some kind of emotional blackmail.

Sethu! Try to understand
the seriousness of what I am saying.

They will somehow make this happen.

Nevertheless, he is an engineer.
Unlike you...

Unlike me?

He's not a so-called
"jack-of-all-trades" like you!

- Greetings.
- Greetings.

Here is the payasam.

- Payasam?
- Do you not like it?

I do.

My dear Megha,

even if I was swimming in money

since we're of different religions,
your dad will never agree to our marriage.

And a registered marriage...

I didn't expect it this soon.

Can we try to postpone this marriage
until your post-graduation is over?

I'll definitely have a job by then.

Please don't look at me
like Caesar looked at Brittas.

It's Brutus, not "Brittas."

Yeah, the same! Brutus!

Don't you know what the situation is?

If this is the only way...

then let's do it.

See, let me tell you something.

Leaving home and coming with you on
a fine morning isn't challenging for me.

However, please don't ask me
to return home later.

I would rather die than do that.

You don't react for the time being.

If he locks you down at home,

then our communication won't be possible.

Don't worry.

Let me plan this.

Go through the back gate.

Payasam.

Bye.

Such a clown.

He has not changed at all.

Both you and she will be leaving
this place on the upcoming auspicious day.

Let's make it happen this coming Sunday.

Oh, God!

Madhukkarai near Coimbatore.

First, I will submit the marriage
application to the officer there.

You'll go there
and spend four days happily,

returning with the marriage certificate.

He'll assign a date after a month

for the marriage registration.

Then the challenge lies in ensuring...

that you are not caught
until the marriage is completed.

The route you are going...

Or your destination

should remain unpredictable.

I cannot involve my friends
or relatives for sure.

He'll go to them first.

You know, right? He is a policeman!

What's the address?

- There is someone there.
- Who?

A Brahmin guy who studied
with me in graduation.

Catch the Sivasakthi bus at 5:30 a.m.

and arrive at the Kayamkulam Bus Station.

The day before that
would be a weekend, right?

Your dad will be drunk and wasted.

He'll wake up
only after ten in the morning.

That is our grace period.

I don't even have a penny on me.

Do you have something to lend?

Do you see this chain?

It used to go all the way
to my tummy.

It has become this short
after I kept lending you guys.

If I lend you any more,
I'll be choked to death.

- Okay.
- Get lost!

We will catch the Coimbatore Deluxe
at 7:30 a.m. and depart.

I'll be at the bus station on time.

Why can't you come a little early
and wait there?

If someone sees me,
it will raise suspicions.

Once you reach the bus station,

go to the washroom
and pretend to freshen up.

Then, come out around 7:15 a.m.

I'll have to endure staying in
that smelly washroom for so long!

This Sunday, both our families will be
overwhelmed by the stench.

So, it's acceptable
to tolerate some stench now.

Speaking of which,

how will you manage to reach the bus stop
during the early, dark hours?

That is okay. Britto will be with me.

Britto.

Britto.

Come.

Hey girl, where are you going?
Do you want a ride?

Your food might not be
up to par for a while. Okay?

It's us who played, and you're sweating.

Very good.

KAYAMKULAM

Britto, go home.

Won't you let me sleep in peace?!

Oh, God!

Are you going to play badminton?

Or wrestling?

If I don't warm up,
I will pull a muscle.

And I don't want that.

But I saw you going
to the bathroom this morning.

I am doing yoga, as well.
You do yoga only after taking a bath.

Display the same enthusiasm
during the bank test.

What about my health?

You shouldn't bother
only about your health.

- It's hot.
- Do one thing, when you come back,

get Eladi Lehyam,
an Ayurvedic medicine, for Dad.

One Kamilari medicine, as well.

- I won't go through the medical store.
- Take this.

Dad will buy it for you.

Please buy him one.

No, thank you!

Even if I were
to fall dead here from coughing,

nobody should be bothered!

Isn't your sister a nurse?

She doesn't even know the difference

between cough syrup and a pesticide!

Don't poke fun at her unnecessarily.

It's hardly been a month

- since she finished her course.
- Course...

- I'll go then?
- What if I say no?

Get lost!

Greetings.

Does he know how to cycle?

Here he comes.

Where the hell have you been, loser?

Here, take this.

Let's go, man.

Where has she reached?

She's at the bus station.

I said I am going
to play badminton and got out.

Call her
and ask where she has reached.

She won't be available
on the phone.

We both haven't taken our phones.

We would be in a pickle if her father
tracks our SIM and follows us.

Exactly!

Hey, see this...

Isn't this her bus?

Oh, God! Go fast...
Go!

Answer the call from your home
or they'll suspect you.

Stop the bike.

- Hello, Dinesh...
- Hello.

- Is Sethu with you?
- Yes.

- His phone isn't connecting.
- Mom, tell me. It's me, Sethu.

Sethu, come back home quickly.

What is it? What happened?

...has left everyone and gone, my son.

Left us and gone!

Yeah, I'm coming.

- There's an issue.
- What?

It appears that Grandpa has received
a visa to Heaven. Take me home quickly.

- Is it done?
- Yes, almost.

Okay, I'll come.

The key is here with me, man.

Also, inform them that "Linda-de-Mol"
will only be available next week.

It refers to a specific type
of white Anthurium plant, man!

- Keep this cash. Okay?
- Okay.

Sethu! Hey!

- Where are they going in such a hurry?
- Brother, phone.

Yes, Sister?

Biju...

I am on the way.

Hey, your bag!

What happened, Uncle?

Sethu, come here.

Read this.

Dad, Mom, and Sethu,

I am writing this letter to prevent

arguments and fights with all of you.

Since we don't have any other option,

my friend and I have...

decided to get married
in the upcoming days.

As my friend belongs
to a different religion,

I can anticipate your responses.

I can also predict how far

Uncle Chandran would go to prevent this.

Mom and Dad, please refrain
from searching for me for a few days.

Despite his limited education,

he is determined
to find a way to earn money.

I will be safe with him.

Yours, Sumi.

Neither on Earth nor in Heaven

We are strangled in between

The scarecrow by the road

Entangled is our life, the narrow bridge

What a doomed age!

Sethu! Hey, Sethu!

Are you lost in thoughts?!

Come, let's search her room. Move!

Go!

Nor in Heaven

Fall between two stools

We are entangled

-Neither on Earth
-Nor in Heaven

-We are strangled
-In between

Neither on Earth

-Nor in Heaven
-Mom!

-We are strangled in between
-In between!

SETHU
SUMI

Magic cup!

His damn romantic gift!

She took 35,000 rupees
from my shelf.

Mom, so you had cash with you?

Yeah, from the Chit Funds.

- Nothing, I was just asking.
- Oh, my ill fate!

Hey, Sethu.

I will be doomed
if this marriage takes place.

Us too!

No matter how hard I try
at Perunna headquarters.

I will be expelled from my current
position in the organization.

When I asked her to attend
my Bhagavad Gita class at the yoga temple,

she had a displeased expression.

Damn ants.

Hey, your bag.

Keep it there.

Don't be sad, man.

Such is the way of age.

Which tree are you going to cut?

Tree? For what? To hang me?

Calm down, bro.
Don't we have to cremate him?

What's this?
Oh, have you already written the obituary?

Whose obituary?

Grandpa's...

Damn it! Come here.

Look there.

He's gobbling bananas!

Bro, then what's the issue?
What happened?

Read it, you moron!

"Dad, Mom, and Sethu...

my friend and I...
get married..."

Oh, my God!

Is it some kind of ritual
in your family today, dude?

She isn't even 20 yet.

If I get hold
of that bastard she eloped with...

Nice!

20-year-old?

What about Megha's age?

Such a hypocrite!

Oh, God! Megha!

Don't be stressed.

Keep the bag inside quietly
and get out somehow.

Then let's go to Megha
and tell her everything and come back.

No matter what, your plan
isn't gonna work today.

- I will try to get out somehow.
- Okay, let's go.

Hey!

Put the bag down.

Where are you going with your bag?

I...

- Uncle...
- To Coimba...

We were planning...

- to go on a trip to Kovalam.
- Kovalam.

-Then we got to know
-Kovalam?

about the issue here and...

Come here.

Don't you dare to go around
and spread the news

that our girl has eloped.

If you dare to open your mouth,
I'll beat you to a pulp!

- Understood?
- Okay.

I will leave.
Your bag will be in the cow shed.

No point sitting here
and having a family meeting.

I'll go to the bus station and check.

My sugar level has gone down.

I will also obtain the details
of inter-state buses.

We can take her photo
to the inquiry office for information.

That's good. I'll also come along.

No. You sit here, Uncle. I'll go and ask.

No, don't go alone.

If you want to give someone a smack,
I'd better be by your side!

No, Uncle...

Hey, can you both stop it?

She is not a fool.

If she can plan this much,

she won't be there
at the bus station waiting for you.

So what are you suggesting?

She ran away
with her college boyfriend, right?

- Yes.
- So, we should

check her college in Mangalore first.

Got it?

It is also mentioned in the letter that
we shouldn't bother searching in Kerala.

How kind of her!

Then what do we do?

What else?

Sethu and I will take the next flight
to Mangalore.

- Awesome!
- I didn't hear you.

Flight? Dear brother,

you've never seen the world
beyond this village!

What are you going to do in Mangalore?

I and Sethu will go.

Anyhow, I am more efficient than you.

Oh! Is that why you caused a ruckus
last week in the tea shop,

arguing that Bhutan is not a country
but the name of a lottery ticket?

What's the need?

There is an express bus to Mangalore
from the bus station at 8:00 a.m.

- Yes.
- She used to take that bus.

It will reach quickly.

- But...
- No matter how...

I want my child back!

All four of us can go.

No, Brother-in-law.
Didn't the doctor tell you not to travel?

We three will go.

Is that the issue here?!

Don't worry, Dad.

It's not that easy for a couple
to get married in a far-off place.

It will follow its course,
involving numerous legal formalities.

Hey, where did you learn all this?

No, I have studied the Marriage Act
for the PSC examination.

- Marriage Act?
- Okay.

Brother-in-law, you stay here.

Devaki and your dad are alone here.

Also, if she has a change
of mind and comes back,

you should be here.

You go pack your bag.

I'll go home
and get ready in ten minutes.

Oh, mine is already packed.

- Go fast!
- Yes.

- I have traveled on flights, okay?
- Yeah, right!

Stupid girl!

Are you ready yet?

Come and get in the rickshaw.

Move, man.

Mangl... Hey, this...

- Look out, you!
- Move aside.

- Where is this bus going, man?
- What?

Oh, sorry...

Sir, where is this bus going?

Can't you read the board?

To Mangalore.

So... Mangalapuram?!

Both are the same.
It's written in Malayalam too.

Oh, yes. My hearing is a bit slow,
so I couldn't read it.

Wait!

Six plus four plus five
plus two is seventeen. 1+7 = 8.

Oh, God! Let's take another bus!

My dear brother! This bus will leave now.

You and your superstitions!
Get inside. Sethu, come.

Mr. Atheist Biju!

You better not look down
upon the Lord above.

Isn't it your superstition
that this bus won't break down on the way?

Otherwise, you're not going to remove
the engine and check to make sure, right?

The faith that you have kept
in this 1997 model bus,

I have kept the same in God...
That's it.

Oh... this doesn't even fit in.

Hey!

Get up and go back.

I feel nauseous if I don't sit
by the window. Get up and go

- Oh, I forgot that.
- Go.

Keep your bag somewhere on the top.

He's hugging it as if it's his girlfriend!

Alright, tell them to start the bus.

They will start when it's time.
Just calm down.

Damn! It's scorching hot!

Couldn't you find an AC bus?

You both sit here.

- I'll go get something to eat and drink.
- Okay.

Can't say where they will stop next.

No! You stay here.
The bus will leave now.

What's wrong with you?
This is not a flight.

They'll stop if somebody has to get in.

You go and get it.

He has diabetes.

You are the one who is spoiling him.

Don't start shivering
if your blood sugar level drops.

My foot!

Sorry, brother.

- What's happening, Sethu?
- Come here.

Megha, sorry.

We might have to drop the plan for now.

Sumi has left a note
and eloped with some guy in the morning.

What?

My uncles and I are going
to look for her.

We can go after I solve this.

You go home for now.

I'll explain in detail later.

You go home for now.

Se... Sethu...

Where is it?

There.

Who?

Where are the biscuits and water?

Oh... those weren't available in the shop.

Not available?

Good for nothing fellow!

COIMBATORE

Let's go.

It is a bad omen.
He drove backward!

Hey!

Hey, stop.

Stop.

Stop. Stop.

Were you planning to die or something?

Move aside.

- Move aside.
- I told you we should go by flight!

Such a nuisance!

MANGALORE
KOLLAM

- Yours is a reserved ticket?
- Yes.

- Where do you wanna go?
- Where are they going?

Hey... Brother...

Oh! Let it be...

I didn't ask you anything. Take this.

What is the last stop of this bus?

It's till Mangalore.

So you got in without reading the board?

You just need the cash, right?
Give me a ticket to Mangalore.

Yeah, I just need the cash.

I'll give you the change
when you get down.

Give me a cigarette.

Here's the change.

No.

Oh, so he smokes?!

That too in public!

He'll have to...

Such is the situation!

Sit and watch.

You were her mediator, weren't you?

When you stood by her
to support her in everything,

why didn't you, her Lakshman uncle,
come to know about this? Yes?!

See, she has landed herself in trouble.

We can't delay anymore.

You call Manoj from the Cyber Cell.

And get all the necessary details.

Sir.

I don't think the bus will move
an inch without proper repair.

I warned you when I heard some
faulty noise from the rear axle.

It's not that.

It will only take ten minutes,

I have informed the depot.

I am an old Mechanical
Engineering graduate. Move away.

Also, don't keep us all waiting, and
better get another bus from the depot.

People have very less value
for others' time.

I am speaking for everyone.

- Come, bro... come, everyone.
- It will be here.

I have to reach before my night shift.

Oh! You're still on call?

Hello? What's happening?

We have been waiting for so long.

- Where is the other bus?
- It'll come now.

- When?
- I am talking to them only.

- Hey, stop blabbering. The bus is here.
- Where?

What is it? Is it an 'Ordinary'
bus? They are stopping everywhere!

Our bus broke down.

Ladies first.

- How many people can you accommodate?
- Only five people.

- Okay, then take them along.
- Let's go.

Get in.

Only five people can go to this.

Did you inform the depot?

- Did you call them?
- Yes, I have.

Hey... Bro... Sethu... What a surprise?!

Hey, Franko!

It's been a while, man!

I didn't notice you as I was looking out.

Yeah, I understood. That's why I called.

You're full-on tripping, yes?

Nothing like that!

Oh, Lord!

Oh, both of you are here?

Yes. They are my uncles.

Why are you standing? Go take a seat.

There are seats in the back.
I'll go and sit there.

You keep looking outside.
It's fascinating.

Who's this hippie?

He's my classmate.

He's a nuisance
if he starts talking. He won't stop.

Do you recognize me?

- I'm Franko. It's been a while.
- Oh, yeah.

I think I have an upset stomach.
Let me see if there is any tablet.

You're just being anxious.

That... Sethu...

So, what do you want me to do?

So, you two are...

- Yeah, we broke up.
- Oh, really?!

I mean... I'm so... so sad.

So that's why he's sulking!

Hey, you come and sit.

Get a lemon to sniff from,
at the next stop. That would be enough.

No, it's there. Let me see.

Megha, you stay confident.

I am here for you.

Don't take any stress. Take rest.

- Come and sit, man!
- Yeah.

Sir,

we are in front of his house.

According to the internet history,

I'm pretty sure that it's him.

Still, you just confirm that.

Yes, sir.

Is anyone here?

Devaki...

- What is it?
- See that.

Oh, no!

Dad, what are you up to
so early in the morning?

The sun is shining upon us!

Who are you?

- We are from the village office.
- What are you doing, Dad?

I am sad.

I feel miserable!

I know.

Let go of me.

Tell me the names and details
of the members of your family.

What?

We are here to take a census.

Wasn't there another
census conducted recently?

- Now, what is this census about?
- This is different.

This is a part of building
new toilets for all the houses

that don't have one in our village.

We have toilets here.

You're misunderstanding.

- We have to file a report.
- Did you take it from my room?

Try to understand

- the situation and behave, Dad!
- Just go!

Dad, if the bottle
breaks and you get hurt

there is no one here
to take you to the hospital.

Give it to me, for heaven's sake.

Get lost!

Dad, just stop it.

Leave it.

What's your name?

My name is Sahadevan.

Go. Get lost!

- How many members are in the house?
- Do what you want.

Five people.

Me, my wife, son,
daughter, and father, as well.

Call everyone.
They need to sign this form.

I won't give...

I won't give it!

What?!

Why does everyone need
to sign to build a toilet?

Also, my son is not here.

He is out...

Where did he go?

He went to a wedding.

Hey, Sahadeva...

Who's marriage? Yes?

Didn't he say that...

since they are of different religions

it's not easy to register?!

Didn't he?!

Dad, please be quiet.

Sethu, come, let's freshen up.

I am not coming. You both go.

I am not going anywhere.
I have a severe headache.

I'm traveling so far after a long time.

Anyway, I am going.

I'll also come.

Okay, come.

Come.

I'll go to the toilet and come.

- Need to pee.
- Shall I accompany you?

No need, I can go alone.

I'm not giving you company,

I also want to pee.

If somebody wants to pee while
traveling, we also feel like peeing.

Weird, right?!

Come.

Oh!

Thank God! It's clean!

- Don't you wanna pee?
- Yeah, I'm coming.

Water.

Water.

You come here. I want
to tell you something.

Take your hands off me!

You guys, please stop fighting.

What fight?!

Try not to escalate the problem.

- You both please be chill.
- What do I be chill about?!

See, Megha is chill. I'll take
care of the rest. Come, get in.

- Take your hands off me? Are you insane?
- Get in, bro.

- Megha, have some sweets.
- Just get lost!

You don't like sweets?

You come here.

Oh, God!

Come, sit here.

Whatever...

Whatever the problem is,
I'll sort it out.

Otherwise, what's the
point of being your friend?

You sit here. I'll be back.

What is his problem?

Nothing, he is a nut case.

You have nice friends!

Oh! My dear Megha!

I'll handle him
till we reach Mangalore.

Get aside, bloody pesterer!

It's normal after a breakup.
You'll be mad. But you'll be fine.

Megha, walk fast.

Hey, the bus is starting. Where is Biju?

- Oh!
- Go and check.

Sethu... Hey...

Is anyone there?!

Come out...

Who did this?

No clue.

- Go, go.
- Hey, stop!

Stop, please!

Oh my God.

- Is this your ten minutes?!
- What shall I say, brother?!

Sethu, where were you?

Where were you, Uncle?

Some rascal locked me inside.

- Then what happened?
- Then what? Another rascal let me out.

Otherwise, I would have missed the bus.

Very strange people!

Sir, I've got it.

We can use it if there is no other way.

Otherwise...

You take a copy of this
and send it to S.I Mallappa.

Yes, sir.

- Now, straight to Mangalore?
- Yes.

Climbing the bridge of troubles

And Jumping into the whirlpool

Sharpening your eyes and ears

Who are you searching for?

Elsewhere in a faraway land

When the thunderstorm gathers

You venture into the search

Who are you looking for?

Oh you, firefly

Let me ask thy

Did you see a sign

Of my naughty little bird?

Crossing the darkness of night

You elope escaping all

Oh you, my chatterbox beauty
You give an answer

Where are you, baby?

Your mom is on the call.

- Hello...
- Give it to me.

- Hello...
- Not audible.

I'll call you when we reach.

We have reached Mangalore.

- What?
- Mangalapuram...

What?

Oh, God.

We have reached Mangalore.

Talk softly! I can hear.

Oh, everyone heard. Please, come now.

MANGALAPURAM

We have reached Mangalore.

Don't forget your bags on the bus.

Oh, we know we have reached Mangalore.

You don't have to repeat it.

Hey.

Come, let's go there and see.

- It's...
- Yeah, let's go.

- Megha, do you want me to hold your bag?
- No.

- Anything else?
- No.

What should we do now?!

What else? Let's take
an auto-rickshaw and go.

Okay then, let's go.

Megha... Rickshaw...

Can we go together if we are
going in the same direction?

- Where are you going?
- Kudroli.

Oh! You are going there? Then come.

Oh, God!

Really? Okay...

Excuse me... This Shetty...

What, sir?

Hey, you come and talk.

You get inside first.
You don't even know the language.

Where to, sir?

Brother, this...
Dr. Shetty College... Kadri...

- Yes...
- Please, drop us there.

- Yes, sir. Please, sit.
- Okay.

Megha, get rid of him.

- See, there's a rickshaw coming.
- Hey, stop.

Stop...

Come, get inside.

Megha, aren't you coming?

- No, I am going on a different route.
- So, I...

- Brother, take him, quick.
- Which route?

- Stop, stop.
- Bye.

- Brother.
- Yes?

- Brother, just follow that auto-rickshaw.
- Okay.

- Where has he gone?
- Where is he?

- Where were you?!
- Everyone is charging too much.

- Are you fooling around?
- Brother...

- Let's go.
- Shetty College, right?

Go... Take...
Damn it, whatever the language is...

Bloody Mangalore!

I had told her many times that...

I'll get an admission for her...

in the Pandalam NSS College.

- Brother, please go a little faster.
- Yes.

He'll tell us when we are about
to reach. Don't get so restless.

Yes, there! Stop, stop.

What is this garage?

Oh, Uncle,

this place doesn't look
safe for a family to stay.

Let's go a bit further and
look for a better place.

What family? It's just the three of us.

I'll make sure that no
one rapes you here.

Also, it's cheaper here.
Come, it'll be fine.

We could find a decent hotel
if we search a bit more.

What's the point of saying it now?

Let's go and search, then.

This is nearer to the college.

Do you want me to search for a
5-star hotel at this hour?

- Come here.
- Oh, God.

- He'll keep blabbering like this.
- Let's go.

I'm very sleepy.

Come.

Madam, are you going
to stay in this lodge?

Hotel Dreams is nearby.

Do you want to go there?

No, it's okay.

Who cares about dreams?

- Your room is upstairs. 104.
- Okay.

Sir, just a minute.

This?

Didn't you understand?

It means we can forget
about sleeping tonight!

Oh.

- Come, let's go.
- Let's go.

They don't even have a lift.

I think the Onam festival
has reached here late!

It's Dussehra, not Onam.

Once Navaratri starts, it will be a
celebration here for the next ten days.

These guys are not like
our village performers,

they are real gym brats!

Oh, gym brat, my foot!

Oh, is this our room?

Excuse me.

Need one room.

Name?

What?

Name and address.

Brother, a clean room, please.

Please.

Deluxe room!

This is special for deluxe.

Sethu?

Do you want to take a shower?

- You go, Uncle. I'll take a shower later.
- Okay.

Look at the way he's sleeping.
Just like a log!

In Perunna...

You bloody outsider,
how dare you act smart in our area?

Area?! Do you own this whole area?!

There's no such thing!

Don't you dare come to our area
and argue with us!

- Hold him!
- Beat him!

Hey, close the gate!
He shouldn't run away!

Hey, come! Here he is!

Oh, sorry!

Thank you, brother.

Hey!
Come with us!

Let's go!

Hey, who is that girl?

I have no idea, bro.

She is gorgeous, bro.

Damn!

Megha!

What do you think you're doing?!

I trusted you.

We had decided on this together.

Please don't shout!

I asked you to go back home, didn't I?

What shall we do now?

How can I go back
home after all this, Sethu?

This was the only option we had.

Didn't you say your family
would understand us?

Go tell your uncles about us then.

I'm tired of compromising
my life for others.

If you can't tell them, I will do it.

Dear Megha...

if you tell them about this now,

they will unanimously make a decision
for the first time in their lives.

I'll be taken back home in an icebox.

Sir.

Ice water.

Okay.

What are you staring at? Leave now.

Go away!

Hold this.
There are all sorts of junkies here!

I can't think of anything right now.

Just give me one more night.

I'll figure something out.

Do what you want, but if you
can't figure it out by morning

I'll tell your uncles everything.

I am serious.

That wouldn't be necessary.

I'll come and meet you early
morning before they wake up.

Take rest now.

Uncle Biju will step out anytime now.

Megha.

Don't worry.

We will figure out a way.

Just lock the door and sleep for now.

Don't open the door if anybody knocks.

Also, you don't have your phone, right?

Phone...

Yes.

Lock it properly.

What kind of dosa is this?!

We ordered dosa and got an omelet!

- It must be an egg dosa!
- Sethu, why aren't you eating?

I can't eat with this fork and everything.

What is he looking at?

Come on, eat it.

Do what you want!

I'll tell your uncles everything.

I am serious.

Sethu.

Don't you recognize me?

I'm Sumi's college friend, Megha.

Yeah... Sumi's college friend, Megha.

Uncle, she is Sumi's close friend.

Hi, uncle.

Hi.

Uncle! That's a healthy drink!

I didn't know
if she would drink tea or not.

Oh!

Here.

- Is this also a healthy drink?
- No.

Thank you!

No problem.

What you told me is unbelievable!

She never said anything about this.

What shall we do now?

What else?
We will head straight to the college!

- That's it.
- Yes.

I am also going there.

My fees are due. I need to pay them.

- Otherwise, I will not get my certificate.
- Oh.

In that case...

Hey, ask her...

Megha, if you don't mind,
can we also come to college with you?

Since you know the college well,
it will be easier for us.

I don't mind at all.

No problem!

Come, let's go to the college.

Uncle.

Good idea!

Thank God!

- Come, Rekha.
- She's not Rekha, but Megha!

That's what I said, Megha!

This girl seems familiar.

Dear...

Were you on the bus we took yesterday?

No way!

Come on!

I... I've seen her...
She looks familiar.

I also boarded the bus yesterday
from my hometown.

The Kayamkulam Express!

Yes! That's why she looks familiar to me!

- Were you there on the bus?
- Yeah!

- See, I told you!
- Okay.

Shall we go?

Hey, rickshaw!

Hand me the register.

The register...

Third floor.

Shall we...

go to the shopping mall?

I didn't carry a lot of
clothes as I came in haste.

You also wanted to buy something, right?

Yeah, something...

You have cash with you, right?!

There is some issue with my card.

Yes! It's there.

Go and take a shower first.

- I'll get ready.
- Yes, I'll go.

A Benz C-class car!

Kerala registration vehicle!

- See...
- What?

A Vintage model car!

- Oh, God! Move aside!
- What?! What's wrong?

He is from my hometown. He's a cop!

Hey, no! It must be someone else!

No! I am damn sure.

He had once come to inaugurate
the library near my house.

- We're screwed, I guess!
- Damn it!

Okay, we will do one thing.
Let me go there and check once.

You pack our things
and keep everything ready.

- Okay.
- Go in.

Hey mister, get me the guest register.

- Sir?!
- We are from Kerala Police, man. Get it.

Did a young couple take
a room here yesterday?

They're Malayalis.

- What?! Malayali couple?!
- Oh! Shit!

See, this is the girl.

Hey, you were right!

They came looking for us.

Hurry up.

No clue, sir. A different
receptionist was here yesterday.

I came in for the morning shift.

Come fast.

There's a Malayali couple
in room number 204.

- Will you hurry up?
- Yes.

Your family has
strong connections with the cops, right?

Yes.

What's wrong, sir?

Oh, no! I forgot my sunglasses!

Just leave it! It must be
in the bag. Come, let's go!

Stop hanging on to my hand. Just run!

Hurry up!

Hurry up, my foot!
I couldn't even wear my underwear!

Sir,

this is his family.

Anyway, it's good that you came with us.

After all, this is your college!

We won't need to ask
anyone for directions!

Brother, let's inquire
about the boy first.

- Okay.
- Where's the Principal's room?

- Straight ahead!
- Straight? Okay.

Come, this way.

It's there.

I mean, go straight and then turn left.

- This way?
- Yes.

- Here?!
- Yeah.

Fear not. They are stupid. Come.

Now, where is the principal from?!

How does it matter,
when all you know is Malayalam?!

It's been six years! He hasn't
even cleared his first year's arrears!

This is the first time that anyone
has come here looking for Alex

since the course started.

Anyways,

you should pay the entire fine for
all the losses he caused in the college.

76,000 rupees.

- What?!
- What?

This is for letting the snake
loose in the warden's bathroom.

And this is for deflating my car tires.

- Yes!
- Sir, happy Dussehra.

Happy Dussehra.

- Sir, it's time for the meeting.
- Yeah.

Give it to them.

No, we're good.

My sugar level shouldn't go down!

-Sir,
-Yes.

We aren't his family members.

He came here after causing
a lot of trouble in our town, as well.

So, we came to inquire about it.

Oh! So that's it!

Then, this is not the right place.

He hardly attends college.

Oh, no.

Some of his friends are here
in the college Hostel.

Maybe, they'll have some
information about him.

Okay, sir.

So go right from here and...

Don't worry, sir.
We'll figure out the directions.

She's a student here, after all!

Oh, okay.

You...

- Which batch?!
- Can I...

Can I pay the hostel fees
at the counter here?

Yeah, yeah. You should
pay it in the account section only.

- You'll pay the whole amount, right?
- Sure, sir.

Oh! Good, good!

When do you have to go back?

That...

Are you used to traveling alone at night?

This is how you get used
to doing things, after all!

Oh, God!

Are you Joju?

Go and ask that bat on the sofa.

Look at him!

- Ask the guy sitting there studying.
- Wait here.

Awesome!

Son, are you Alex's friend?

Alex?!

Who's Alex?!

Alex Jacob.

Oh! That could be our guy,
the Philanderer!

Oh! Philanderer!

Philanderer?! What's that?

That means your niece
has eloped with a player!

- Where is he now?
- Good lord!

It's been three or four
months since I saw him!

By the way,

who told you that I am his friend?

What's the matter?!

Are you the police?

Dear son, we are not from
the police, military, or anything!

No, even if you're,
we don't give a damn!

All the policemen here are our buddies.

They come here from
time to time looking for him.

We often chill together.

Dear children,

If you know of any place
where he might go, please let us know.

We cannot go back without seeing him.

If you're that desperate...
you will have to go to the pub.

But that place is filled
with his stoner gangs.

What's that now?

That means...

people who take cocaine and weed!

- Oh, no!
- You can go there.

But if you create any trouble,
they'll smash you all up!

- Oh, no!
- That's true!

Bro, we're ready to take any risk.

We're in such a situation!

Please give us the location.

Yeah, sure.

G-Pub in Balmatta.

Today is Tuesday night, right?

So, only couples will be allowed, right?

Oh.

But they can go in.

Yeah, they can go.

But if you go there
wearing a loincloth and all

they'll kick you out of there!

Wear western clothes,
like jeans or pants.

- Okay?
- Don't be too formal or too casual.

Now they know that without
your help, nothing will work out!

Okay, bye.

- Uncle, Megha is leaving, it seems.
- Yes?

I'll leave now...

- Okay.
- But...

No, dear, don't travel
alone at this odd time.

It's very late.

Oh, that's fine, this is how
we get used to it, right?!

That's true, but...
Just a minute, please.

Dear, please don't say no.

We are not that close to you
and shouldn't ask for such a favor.

I know that.

But you heard those boys, right?

Only couples will be allowed to enter!

Now we don't want to go looking for
a girl and get beaten up by the natives!

Dear, you are Sumi's classmate, right?

At least for her sake, can
you please do this favor?

- Can you?
- Yes.

Yeah, okay.

- Okay, then. Come, let's go.
- Come.

Let's go.

SHALL WE MEET FOR A COFFEE?
ARE YOU FREE?

HEY... SEND YOUR WHATSAPP NUMBER.
I'LL CALL YOU

Don't worry, dear.

- It won't take more than a day...
- Sir...

A message was received on
your daughter's phone.

Franko!

Is this for real?!

Is he that big of a mess?!

Yeah! Of course!

He has proposed to me several
times under the pretext of ragging!

He has an innocent face.

That's why these naive girls fall for him.

Well, some guys are like that!

Come, Sir. Come, Madam. Come.

- Is that what you call an innocent face?!
- Sir, come.

- Come, sir.
- I have seen his face on the mug.

- He looks like a crook!
- Come, sir.

- What do you want, sir?
- Two T-shirts in size 46.

Something that can be worn in clubs.

Megha, can you say it in their language?

- Brother, I understood.
- Oh.

Aren't you guys not buying any clothes?

Our type of clothes is available
in that shop.

- We'll go and buy from there.
- Let me go and see.

Take this, sir.

Look.

Uncles aren't around right now

and these guys don't know our language.

If you want to curse me, take a shot!

Why?!

Look, I came uninvited with you
yesterday. It was not only for me.

Megha,

I swear on God...

I would have eloped
with you at that moment!

But you also heard about Alex, right?!

Please stand by me until I find Sumi.

Sethu, Sumi is like a sister to me.

Finding Sumi is my concern, as well.

Now even if you take me
to your home without Sumi

nothing will work out there, I know.

I have that much sense.

- Brother, pack this for me.
- Okay.

- Don't you need anything, Madam?
- No, no.

- Okay.
- I can wear any dress I have.

No, bro. She needs a dress.

I can't even remember the
last time I bought you something.

Hey! Your uncles will see us.

Let them go to hell!

Bro, pack this.

What are you saying?
Where should we go now?!

When I said to take the necessary things

I meant the cash, not your damn clothes!

It slipped my mind in that rush.

Slipped your mind, is it?!

Now wherever we go and stay,
this will be our situation!

Mangalore is not a big city.

They can spot us easily if they try.

That's why I am saying,
come, let's go to my friends.

Your friends?!

Don't make me speak about them!

Come on! It's just a matter of a night!

- Then, we can plan for tomorrow...
- Oh, God! Alex!

Do you have a single
sober friend in this city?

Listen, don't pester me
with your damn dialogues!

I am going there
anyway. You suit yourself!

Or wait on the Highway.

You might get a lift to go back home!

Are you coming or not?

Megha is walking towards
me, while I'm sitting here!

No! Not that!

She's walking, and I'm sitting here...

And I slowly...

Who's this prick in black?!

Listen...

Here you go...

This seat is reserved!

Hey, Megha.

Reached the cafe. Where are you?

With four question marks!

What about a heart emoji?

No, will give her the heart in person!

Hey, Megha, where are you
and the four question marks?!

Screen share?!

Are you a hacker or her father?

Oh, God! Uncle...
She said they broke up.

What else would I ask her then?

You...! Don't try to play tricks on me!

No, tricks! Trust me,
I am telling the truth!

On top of that, she was sitting away
from him and his uncles on the bus.

That's all I know!

- Uncles?!
- Let go of me!

Lakshmanan...

Don't wait, just get all their details!

After all, she's our girl!

Hey, Sachin...

Don't keep moving.

Stand properly with your legs apart!

No matter how much I say,
you will not understand!

What?

Make way...

Make way!

Who's that girl?

What?!

The girl! Who's that girl?

A girl!

You were wandering
here and there at night.

What is he saying?!

Move aside!

- Uncle...
- What?

Megha is here!

Dear, come inside

How did you reach here?

- A friend dropped me here.
- Okay.

How's our new look?!

This is very difficult to put on.

It almost feels like you're
standing inside a PVC pipe!

How do you guys manage to wear all this?

I know who's responsible for this!

Okay, I will put on this cap, as well.

It will make me look younger.

If that's the purpose,
you may need a helmet!

Hey, you!

Are you done mocking me?!

Most probably only the two of us
would be allowed inside the club.

Oh! Will all this fancy dressing go
in vain?

No matter what, we need to gather some
information about Sumi and the guy.

In the meantime, you both try
to get into that club somehow.

If the guys in the hostel were right,

it's risky.

In case, if they are there in the Pub,

and we can't enter

then you should go and convince
Sumi and bring her outside.

Well, give me your phone number.

I'll call if there is any need.

I don't have a mobile phone, uncle.

A girl without a mobile
phone in this era?!

Now that's called a well-brought-up girl.

Let's leave then.

No matter what,
we will come back with Sumi, okay?

Ra ra raama dapper maama

Here's the peppy dance tune

Hey come, mama, darling mama

Let's shake a leg to this tune

Mangalore is asking

Did you have fun here?

Oh, my dear friend

Come, get lost
In the darkness of this street

Hey hey maama super maama

Here's our story of trauma

Beat the drums

Let's party the whole night

Megha,

let me buy you
Mangalore's special Kori roti!

I love rotis a lot! Hence...

Have you ever tried Kongini idli?

I will mix them and
feed them to you at the station today.

I'll make it special for you!

Sir, enough poking me. Now please collect
that senior uncle's number, please!

- Chill, man!
- But...

We will get the number soon.

Hey, what did I do?

Let go of me!

I couldn't zip it up.

My brother! You bought
this jacket for 150 rupees!

This is likely to happen then!

Just take it off. We don't
need it here! I said, take it off!

What to do with this now?

Just keep it somewhere.

See, we need to get inside.

Stand by me like a pillar, okay?

Yes, okay.

Hey,

see that.

- Get in.
- Thank you.

Don't turn around. Walk forward.

Did you notice that?

- Maybe that's how people behave here.
- Really?

Let's copy them.

That's it!

- Leave that jacket and come!
- Oh, yes.

What's happening here?!

- Let's go and search.
- We're going.

- Okay.
- You both search that side.

But why did they let us in?

As if they will only allow couples!

I guess, those boys were just bragging!

What did you say?

Let's go!

Bro, that stuff's name
was something weird.

After having that, I was like,
"Catch this guy! No, that guy."

That was some trippy stuff, bro!

Do their parents have no
control over them?

They have set them free
to utter chaos! Disgusting!

What's the matter with you, boy?!

No, no! Stay away!

Oh, my God!

Hey! Hey, Biju!

Hey Biju!

Biju!

Oh, God!

Come here, Biju!

I said, come here!

Damn!

Biju, are you out of your
mind? What the hell...

Just join me!
Or else, they will doubt us!

What?!

Just shake a leg with me! Or else,
the other people will suspect us!

See, he is watching us!

Shake a leg! Hop! Hop!

Yeah, we will jump and search!
Don't stop!

- Hop! Hop!
- In this old age...

What happened?

Where are my uncles?

Oh, no!

Good God!

Am I gonna die?

What?

- Hello.
- Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Stop that!

Hello? The call got disconnected!

Is there any pub
where a party takes place today?

I...

Today is Tuesday, right?
Then G-Pub, Balmatta!

Balmatta! Where's it?

From here... straight...

Sir, it's Balmatta.

Call Mallappa.

Get the hell out!

Oh, God! Give me my coat!

Here!

- Get lost!
- Seriously?

You get lost!

Hey. Get up!

Please get up, Alex!

It's all messed up here.

Please listen,
shouldn't we leave tomorrow?

We...

Hey, Malli...

Hey! Hey, you!

You idiot! Listen to me!

Yeah, Malli.

I am saying it for the last time.

This is not a damn joke, Alex!

If you...

If you don't come with me right now,
I'll go alone from here.

Malli, I love you!

Oh, my God.

- What happened, babe?
- I am leaving!

Listen, I am leaving!

Damn it!

Move!

All men are dogs!

Bloody dogs!

- Excuse me.
- Yes, sir?

Do you know Alex?

Sumi?

Sumi.

Hey, why are you crying?

I blindly trusted that prick.
I hurt my family!

I deserve this!

We'll sort it out. Stop crying.

Bro...

Hey!

How do you know my name?

I came here with Sethu and your uncles.

They're all inside.

They're here?!

Yeah. But you don't need to worry.

They won't do anything to you.

They have been looking
for you for the last two days.

I was also with them.

By the way, where is Alex?

Tell me, where is Sumi?

- I'll smack your face off!
- Sumi...

Tell me!

Sumi... I love you!

- Open your eyes.
- Hello?

- What's happening, bro?
- Get lost!

Are they all mad at me?

They'll calm down if
you just go and hug them.

Anyway, don't let
the uncles know that you're here.

- I'll go and get Sethu.
- Okay.

But... you are?

If anyone asks,
tell them that I am your classmate.

What the hell? Leave my hand.

Leave my hand!

Robin is waiting at the station.

Come.

Damn it!

I came on my own and I am not going back.

They have a warrant.

Come.

Oh, God!

How dare you misbehave
with her?! Bloody dog!

Oh, no! Don't hit him! He's a cop.

A cop?!

Sir?

Bloody...

Move!

Thank God. It is nothing serious.

Hello. I mean, sorry.

Oh, no! Sethu?

What the hell is going on, man?

Let go of my hand.

- Get all of them to the station.
- Yes, sir.

- Sir, it was a mistake.
- Come!

- See Sumi's here...
- Let's go!

Sumi...

Dear Sumi!

What the hell is going on? Who are they?

Take them to the jeep.

Walk!

- But... Sumi!
- Sumi. Dear!

MANGALORE EAST POLICE STATION

What did you think? If you go out
of state, you can fool me for long?

Take your hands off!

How dare you touch my boy?!
I don't care if you are a cop!

What do you expect me to do

with the person who
ran off with my daughter?

If needed I will take his head off!

Daughter?! Who's your daughter?!

Megha?!

He's Megha's Dad.

So what?

Megha, come. Let's go home.

Sir, she is not coming with you.

We have taken this decision together.

Sethu.

Also, there are laws like
Special Marriage Act that favor us.

Are you teaching the law to a cop?!

Well, your law points are correct!

But this case won't come under SMA.

I'm here with a Kerala police officer
to legally arrest my daughter

for stealing my money, gold,
and eloping.

I will present her at the police station
where the crime has happened.

Give that warrant.

Give it!

Do you want to read it?

But you haven't found any gold with her.

Yes, I did.

Anyway, I am taking her.

Dear,

you don't have a choice.

We'll discuss this once we reach home.

Thank you, Mr. Mallapa.

Come.

- I said, come!
- Let me go.

Come.

Sethu...

Sethu, what's happening here?

Don't you understand?

All this time they were fooling us!

Come! We will discuss the rest at home.

Hey, wait!

Are you going to go just like that?!

Hey, see this!

Oh, no!

Sir!

- Look here.
- Sir.

It could be for the first time in history,

that someone is eloping with
his two uncles accompanying him!

I appreciate your courage!

There's no point in cursing Sumi now.

You both are two peas in a pod!

Uncle, I told you. I had no other option.

Don't utter a word!

- What a mess!
- Oh, God!

My family is filled
with such lovesick people!

Why are you quiet?! Go, talk to him.

Look at him standing like a stone!

Sethu, You could have
at least given me a hint.

I would have supported you.

What do you mean?

You're not pissed because he fooled us,

but because the girl
is a Christian, right?

Our family used to have
an elephant at home.

So what?!

This means, our families
were that prestigious...

Sorry, sir.

Sorry.

What about our family's prestige
and pride?

The pride of the family
should be proved by living well.

Not like this!

Sethu, you know what?

I came here to find Sumi
and the guy and get them married.

But what can we do? He's a fraud!

Oh! So you both are on the same team!

I was such a fool to trust you guys!

Now what?!

To sum it up, his girlfriend
went home with her dad.

His sister is in the pub
with that wicked guy!

And we three are in jail!

Are you happy?!

First, let's think about
how we can get out of here.

- There's only one way...
- What?

We need to bribe them.

They'll fall head over heels for money.

Good idea!

Hindering a police officer on duty!

Upon that, attempt to murder!

- Attempt to murder?!
- Yes

No one has ever died out of a slap!

If it had gone a bit down,
there's a weak point on the neck.

He would have died from that.

What weak point?

No clue, right? There are such things!

Since we are just the accomplices,

we could get a maximum imprisonment
of two years.

But him, he'll be screwed for five years!

You better learn Kannada.

Man, you have slapped a Sub Inspector.

They can falsely accuse
you of various other crimes

and make it a strong case. Do you get it?

I don't think we have enough
money to get away from all this.

Don't be pessimistic.
Just check, how much do you have.

- Sethu, how much do you have?
- All in all, 2000 rupees.

That's the maximum I have, as well.

What about you?

I have nothing.

I only had that bag with me, and that
also has been confiscated by them.

Sethu, Move here and cover for me.

See, I have this engagement ring with me.

Take this.

You also take off your chain.

My chain?

You won't have anything if you
are sent to jail, not even your name!

Instead, your identity
will be a fancy number.

If you don't want that to
happen take off that chain.

Yes, take it.

It has come down to this.

Don't expect my specs and hearing aid!

- That's not needed.
- Yeah.

Keep the money.

Come on, quick!

Pack it.

Now call him.

Sir?

Sir?

Just a minute.

- What?
- Please, let us go.

I don't understand your damn English.

Speak in Malayalam.
I can understand bits of it.

- Sir, it was a misunderstanding.
- True that.

Misunderstanding?!

Do you know who that is?
Sub-Inspector of Karnataka police!

You slapped him
and you call it a mistake?

Sir, SI sir was not in uniform, right?

That too in a pub.

It really is a misunderstanding.

Why would we dare to touch you, people?

That's true.

See him.

He is pissed at you.

You'll have to bear the consequences.

Sir, it'll be a disgrace, if
the public gets to know that

an efficient police officer
has been beaten up.

Yes, that too by a dumb guy from Kerala!

Yes.

Sir, and if the media
gets to know about it...

it'll be a shame for
the entire Karnataka Police.

That's true.

Please, we will do anything.

Okay.

You wait.

What?

I'll go talk to him and see.

You'll have to give
whatever amount he asks for.

- Sure, we will pay any amount he asks for!
- We will.

- Yes.
- Okay.

Shit! Now this is what I am doing!

He is going to set us free.

Uncle, I don't think so.

He's going to hit me.

Will it work out?

Let's see.

I don't think we have enough cash.

Do you have any hidden jewelry?
Like a waist chain or something?

Shut up! I don't have anything.

Yes, he is coming.

-Sir is very strict
-Oh...

Somehow I have managed to convince him.

Don't go for any negotiation!

No. Tell us, how much is it?

Five lakhs?!

Shut up! Let him speak.

- How much?!
- Five hundred plus 100.

And that extra 100 is for me.

How much did you say?!

Five hundred plus 100.
A total of 600 rupees.

Not a penny less.
If you can't give then...

No, it's fine. We'll give, sir.

- Okay.
- Give it. Hurry up.

- Don't give everything.
- Here.

Then one more thing,

SI wants to slap him back.

Sir, we will give you an additional
500 rupees. Can I avoid the slap?

It's just a slap, right?
Let him be happy!

It'll be alright.

- Yes, he agreed, he's okay with it.
- Okay.

Okay?

- Let's go.
- Just get one slap, man!

What if you come to your senses then?

- Oh, God!
- Get lost, you fool!

Shut up, let's leave.

Go!

Had I known this, I would
have tipped him ten rupees extra.

Wait, I am coming.

MANGALORE EAST POLICE STATION

- Brother, here.
- What a day!

Brother.

- Sumi?!
- Brother!

My girl!

Give me the bag, dear.

Please don't scold me.

I made a mistake.

- It's okay.
- Sorry.

It's all in the past.

- She came back without any trouble.
- Yes.

Let it go. It's alright.

You understood everything, right?
That's enough.

Let me ask you something, dear.

There are many men in this world.

And you fell for that scoundrel?

Be quiet, brother.

She is already shattered.

Don't hurt her anymore.

I'm not saying anything!
You all are together in this.

Come. Let's catch the next bus home.

- We have been wandering for two days now.
- Come.

No.

You go home with her.

I can't leave Megha as he left her.

He is back to Megha!

Is he a fool?

She's been arrested.

It will be a huge case
if you try to save her.

They can't give me capital punishment,
right?

- Hey...
- No, Uncle.

I don't know what will happen.

This is my last chance.

I can understand what you are saying.

But it's a huge risk to take
such an impulsive stance now.

Please, listen to me now.

Are you listening?

What is it?

Did you all beat him up?

Why?

Sir, who is he?

I don't know anything, sir.

We were just dancing in tiger costumes.

Sir, don't believe him.

He's lying.

They called me from home and
beat me like a dog in the lodge.

Subrahmanian...

if there is no witness,
nothing is possible.

There is a witness, sir.

There is a guy standing outside.

He's seen him beating me.

Hey, call him in.

Okay, sir.

- I want to think about a plan.
- Hey.

Come inside.

Sir is calling you.

- Come.
- You alone.

Go.

Did you see them beating him?

Didn't you understand?

Did you see him beating him in the lodge?

- Thank you, Brother.
- Sir, help me.

No. I didn't see them.

- Can I go now?
- No?

Should we go inside and see?

Didn't you get enough?
Need another slap?

Sorry, Subrahmanian.

I can't do anything.

Don't keep fighting in this matter.

You may end up in trouble.

You all leave.

- Thank you, sir.
- Okay.

What did they ask?

It's about some issue that
happened in the lodge yesterday.

- Move.
- Thank you, brother.

Come, let's go party.

Do you want anything?

What?

Any help?

Do you know them?

No. I saw them yesterday.

- At the lodge.
- Oh!

At the lodge.

Come. Let's go, dear.

Dear, are you okay?

- My dear.
- Yes?

Let's go home and...

find a good job for you.

Listen to me!

You get a job and we
can think about the rest.

Am I right?

For sure, Uncle.

I'll definitely get a job.

No matter how much I struggle,
I'll pay your debt first.

- Debt?
- Our debt? What debt?

This debt!

Hey, Sethu!

Hey, stop!

- Brother, let him go.
- Boss!

-If he can do this much alone,
-Boss!

he won't come back home without her.

Stop!

The games we played are coming again
Like a boomerang

Stop, please!

When try to meet the ends
It drifts away again

I need help.

In the heaven of confusion
Carrying a cross, he jumps into a pit

Holding a thread of hope
He tries to escape

When he runs

Drenched in colors

Oh, the smartie pie, tell me

Leave "whys"

Leave "whats"

Go search for her beyond every question

Oh, God! Chill down my heart

What to do?

Let me try running

Where to search

Left and right

Oh, God! Oh, God!

Yes, what is it?

Where are you?

I am at the auto-rickshaw stand.

Tell me, brother.

A girl has been taken in a
Kerala registration vehicle.

Search for the girl! Trace out the car!

The car's color is blue.

- Tell me, bro.
- Ask for the address.

- Hello.
- Check all the cars.

Drink.

Call him.

Hey, you understood everything, right?

Don't miss a word.

Hello.

I got a plan...

Okay, brother.

Yes.

Lakshmanan.

We realize the value of
something when we lose it.

This damn warmth and scent of love...

will vanish within a couple
of days once you come to reality.

Now she doesn't need money or family.

Only love is important!

Hey! Go!

Go away!

What he is saying is right.

Daddy is doing everything
for your good future and happiness.

I didn't expect Daddy will go
to this extent for my happiness.

Whatever happens,
I'm going to face those theft charges.

It's better than going back
to that house.

No, dear. What he is saying...

- The girl is there?
- Yes.

Brother, I punctured the wheel.
They can't go too far now.

Okay, superb!

The girl we are looking for is in a car.

The plan is on!

- The car won't go too far.
- Okay.

- Understood?
- Understood.

The girl is found.

We go there quickly and attack!

Yes, bro.

Don't forget the plan
when we reach there.

- Don't worry!
- We'll do it.

- All is okay!
- Good.

Be cool.

Relax!

Don't stress!

Careful.

Careful.

Lakshmanan, I think
the tire is punctured.

You go and check.

What timing!

It's punctured, sir.

Really?

- Damn it!
- Don't worry, sir. I'll fix it.

I have so much experience in
changing the tires of police jeeps.

So I can do it quickly.

This jack is not that good, still...

we'll change it.

Hey, what are you thinking?

Is running away
from home the freedom you seek?

Or do you think cheating your father

and getting
your marriage registered somewhere

is a great achievement?

I left home intending to come back.

I would have come back
when you come to your senses.

Enough!

No matter what you say
to try and manipulate me, I love Sethu.

It's only going to intensify.

Do whatever you want.

Sir.

- Hello?
- Hello?

A blue Benz car, Kerala registration.

- What?
- Blue Benz car.

Oh! A blue Benz car?

You come to Talapady tollbooth.
We'll also join you there.

Yeah, I'll come.

Dear...

I didn't come just because
of my loyalty to him.

When you are in trouble...

Don't bother to explain much, uncle.

If I have any good childhood
memories it is with you.

And you put that gold in my bag!

I won't kill myself
if I couldn't marry Sethu.

But, in this life,

don't you ever think
that I'll even smile at you!

Dear...

Oh my, God! They have changed the tire.

The car will leave now.

Come!

Oh, no! I can't see a thing!

Come!

Dear...

here.

This is your bag, keep it.

Isn't there pepper spray
in your bag? Take that out.

Take it out!

This...

- Spray that into my eyes and escape.
- What?!

Spray that into my eyes and escape!

- Oh, don't...
- Give it to me.

Don't!

Oh, no! My eyes!

What are you waiting for?

Get off and run before he sees you.

- Listen to me. Go...
- No.

- Dad will run after me and catch me.
- Just run!

- Running is risky.
- My eyes!

- I'll take the car.
- Make it fast.

Oh, no! Don't start the car!

Don't take the car.

Uncle, hold tight.

Stop! Hey!

- Hey! Stop!
- Hey.

Oh, my God!

Oh, no! You hit him!

Murdered! He is dead!

Why...

- Come, sir.
- Who are you?

- Come, sir.
- Let me go.

- Where are you taking me?
- Sir!

I am from Kerala Police.

Police...

Come with us, sir.

Come.

Let me go. I'm from Kerala Police.
Who are you?

Sethu!

Why are you driving?

That's...

Don't worry there are people with us.

Hey, who are you?

Let me go!

Boss, we have stopped her daddy. Run!

You losers, that's not her daddy.

- He is not her daddy?
- Her daddy is no more, you idiots!

Oh, no!

Daddy! Don't hit him!

That man in the black T-shirt.
He's her dad.

Hey, New Daddy, stop!

- Let him go.
- Stay away.

Hold him! Catch him.

- Hold his legs.
- Hold him.

Sir...

- Sir!
- Let me go.

Run, brother. Run!

Stop it, Daddy.

Let me go.

Hold him.

Hey, watch out! Truck!

Get in.

Come...

Chinnappaa!

- Climb up.
- Hold my hand.

Oh, no!

Sethu, are you okay?

You are not injured, right?

You jumped in front of the running car!

What else could I have done?

What about your jump yesterday?

When I saw you jump,
I made up my mind that

I would only go home with you.

Sir...

Is he deaf?!

Sir! Help me, sir!

Hello, did you find those two?

Yeah! They are with me in my vehicle.

I knew it! Her damn daddy!

Who are those tiger-faced lads?

I'll tell you everything.

We have time till we reach Coimbatore.

Will they hurt my daddy?

I hope your daddy won't hurt them!

- It was one hell of a slap.
- Oh, sorry.

What about Sumi?

She understood everything.

She must be on the bus
heading home with her uncles.

Poor things. We made them run a lot.

They made us run as well.
